[Bug 1531653] Re: Macbook Pro Retina 11, 1 SD Card Reader Doesn't Work

 

> Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

This is the first time I've tried using the SD card.  So I can't say if
any system changes have affected it.

However, the fact that my SD card reader doesn't show up when booted
into SystemRescueCD, and it does show up when booted into my friends
MBP, makes me think it's not a system configuration issue.

> Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?

I tried, but I'm using a ZFS filestystem for my root.  I tried to build
but I guess there are issues due to my relying on "out of tree" modules.
I'm not familiar enough with building kernels to know how to proceed at
this point.  If you could point to instructions that would tell me how
to use a mainline kernel with my dkms zfs module (so I can boot), I'd be
happy to give it a try.

Title:
  Macbook Pro Retina 11,1 SD Card Reader Doesn't Work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Macbook Pro (MBP) Retina 11,1 with an SD card reader that
  will not work.

  The SD card reader:

  * has device code 05ac:8406
  * does work in OS X.
  * does not work in SystemRescueCD running kernel 3.14.56-std461-amd64
      - I have a friend with an identical Macbook Pro and his SD card reader does work in SystemRescueCD
  * Does not show up in lsusb
  * Does not display any messages in dmesg when an SD card is inserted
  * Device 05ac:8406 does not show up in dmesg
  * Does not work in kernel 4.2.0-22.27~14.04.1.  All issues reported here seem to be the same regardless if I use 3.13 or 4.2.
  * Uses the following drivers on my friends MBP: sd, usb-storage, usb, xhci_hcd

  The last point made me look closer at the xhci_hcd logs:

  rsyring@loftex:~$ dmesg | grep xhci_hcd

  [   81.685139] usb 1-1.4: new low-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd

  The "Timeout while waiting" messages are suspicious to me.  dmesg on
  my friend's MBP  does not show those messages.
